Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 2 chamomile tea bags
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by boiling 4 cups of water. As it reaches a gentle boil, you will notice the comforting sound of the bubbling water, setting the stage for your infusion.
2. Remove the boiling water from heat and add 2 chamomile tea bags. Let them steep for about 5 to 7 minutes. The soothing, floral aroma of chamomile will begin to fill the kitchen, creating a serene atmosphere.
3. While the tea is steeping, slice the lemon into thin, even slices. The fresh, citrus scent is invigorating and adds a refreshing note to your drink.
4. Once the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and add in the lemon slices. Stir gently to combine the flavors. Add honey if you prefer a touch of natural sweetness, stirring until it’s fully dissolved.
5. Pour the Lemon Chamomile Infusion into cups. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of freshness and a visually appealing touch.
6. Serve immediately, either warm for a comforting experience or chilled for a more refreshing option. Enjoy the delicate balance of tangy lemon and subtle chamomile with each sip.
